Era: Started from raising livestock in the mountains

Chapter 30: I lied to you like a dog



Originally, we were going to catch eels at night, but after a meal of wine, everyone was dizzy and might fall into the field if they went to the edge of the field.

Lin's father and mother were trying to persuade Lin Heng's father and uncle to stay. They knew that there was no place for them because of the large number of Lin's family, so they were determined to leave.

After a lot of tugging and shouting, the two of them finally left.

"Quan, take the remaining bamboo rats back to Hong Cui..."

Lin's mother caught up with Lin Heng's uncle Li Baiquan and handed him the bamboo rats.

"I told you to fry them all, why do you still keep so many, I don't want them." Li Baiquan waved his hands and refused to take them.

But in fact, it was just a courtesy. He was very grateful to his sister for leaving so many bamboo rats, so that he would not scold him when he returned home at night, otherwise his wife might not even open the door.

Lin's mother naturally knew it, so she forced the squirrels on him after a tug of war and sent him away.

On the other side, Lin's father treated Lin Heng's third father in the same way. Adults like to push and refuse, which makes Lin Heng laugh.

But feelings are indeed built in this kind of tug-of-war, this kind of give-and-take. Today you help me, and tomorrow I help you.

"Lin Heng, let's catch the eels tomorrow. I can't even walk steadily."

Lin Yue held the railing and urinated while smiling.

"Any time is fine." Lin Heng said with a smile. He drank little and always tasted wine lightly, so he was not drunk.

At this time, it was dark, and a crescent moon was hanging in the sky. There were many clouds and mist, and the starry sky looked a little looming.

His third father lived nearby, in Xiahe, more than a kilometer away, and his uncle lived in the mountains, which was a long way away, but it was nothing for rural people. Walking at night was a common thing.

Looking at the small basin of Fengshu Village, Lin Heng sighed. The slate river in the distance reflected the silver moonlight, and the sound of flowing water was faintly visible.

The surrounding mountains and rivers and grass and trees swayed slightly, and the grasshoppers and crickets were annoying. Lin Heng listened for a while and kicked a stone. Suddenly, the crickets under the stone stopped chirping.

When he took two steps, the guy started to chirp again as if provoking.

Lin Heng exhaled and turned away. If it were in the past, he would have to take out the cricket and execute it on the spot. It was too arrogant.

Back in the house, Lin's mother Caiyun Xiulan had already cleaned up the dishes, and Lin's father and eldest brother had been arranged to go to bed.

Seeing Lin Heng coming in, Xiulan came over to help him rest: "Did you vomit? Why did you stay outside for so long?"

"No, I was looking at the stars." Lin Heng smiled and held his wife's hand. The palm of his hand was a little rough because of work, but the back of his hand was still very smooth.

"Then wash your feet and rest." Xiulan looked at him without struggling.

"Is my daughter asleep?" Lin Heng asked again.

"I still have to work tomorrow, and today is not a safe period." Xiulan looked at him vigilantly and whispered.

"What are you thinking about." Lin Heng pinched his wife's face, and then leaned close to her ear: "Besides, even if it is a dangerous period, you still don't believe in my control..."

Xiulan's face suddenly turned red, and she quickly covered his mouth: "Don't say it, it's embarrassing."

Lin Heng thought it was funny. They had obviously had sex many times and had children, but when talking about this topic, his wife was still very shy, like a little girl.

"I'm kidding you, come on, take the flashlight and I'll take you to get the good stuff."

Lin Heng said again.

"Catch eels?" Xiulan was puzzled. What else can you catch besides eels at night?

"Good stuff, just take a flashlight and a plastic bottle and follow me." Lin Heng smiled mysteriously.

"What? I want to go too." Caiyun walked into the main room and was eager to try after hearing this.

"You should take a rest quickly. Besides, there are only two flashlights left, and none of them belong to you." Lin Heng directly rejected Caiyun.

"Okay then." Caiyun nodded reluctantly, and asked curiously, "What are you going to catch?"

"You'll know tomorrow morning."

Lin Heng didn't say anything, and pulled Xiulan, who had taken the good things, out, and reminded her not to lock the door.

"Woof woof~~"

When going out at night, Xiongba naturally took him along, and a dog could also warn of danger in advance.

Xiulan was pulled by Lin Heng and curiously walked into the woods behind the house.

"Husband, what are you going to catch? If you're hunting, you don't have a slingshot or a bow and arrow."

Xiulan was full of doubts, but the feeling of being led forward by Lin Heng was wonderful, and she didn't struggle, and let him pull her.

Lin Heng shone the flashlight under a tree, and soon saw his target - a cicada monkey that had just crawled out of the soil.

Summer is a good time to catch cicada monkeys, but no one here catches them, because these strange foods have not been spread in Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan at this time.

Many places don’t know that they can be eaten, until the development of the Internet later, a wave of eating them all over the country was set off.

"This is what I want to catch!" Lin Heng caught the cicada monkey and showed it to his wife Xiulan.

"Is this for sale?" Xiulan blinked curiously. She knew that the cicada shell of the golden cicada is a traditional Chinese medicine and can be sold for money. She instinctively thought that this could be sold for money.

"No, this can be eaten!" Lin Heng said with a smile. Now cicada monkeys can't be sold for money. No one eats them in this area.

Hearing this, Xiulan couldn't help but widen her eyes: "Ah??"

Seeing his wife's expression, Lin Heng smiled and squeezed her hand: "It's delicious, help catch it quickly."

Xiu Lan hesitated for a moment: "You can catch them, but you can eat them yourself. I won't eat them. They are too scary. I won't eat them even if I kill you."

"Okay." Lin Heng didn't argue. When it's done, he'll let his wife taste one and she'll know it's really delicious.

Just like when he ate fried scorpions in his previous life, he was terrified before eating, but after eating, there was only one word - delicious.

"There are so many. Are you sure this thing is not poisonous and can be eaten?"

No one caught cicada monkeys in this era. Xiu Lan questioned Lin Heng while catching them.

"Of course it's edible." Lin Heng smiled. If his wife saw Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan eating scorpions and centipedes, she would be scared of the things on the insect banquet.

"Anyway, I won't eat them. I'll catch them for you." Xiu Lan looked around.

"I'm afraid you'll drag me to find cicada monkeys tomorrow night." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"Impossible. This thing tastes terrible at first glance." Xiu Lan said firmly.

"What if you insist on coming tomorrow?" Lin Heng asked with a smile.

Xiulan said without hesitation: "It's impossible. If that's the case, you can do whatever you say."

"That's what you said." Lin Heng smiled and began to imagine his wife's expression tomorrow.

"I said, I'm a dog if I lie to you." Xiulan raised her smooth chin, full of confidence. This thing doesn't taste good at first glance.

"Woof woof!!"

Xiongba jumped around in the forest, looking up from time to time, as if he was keeping watch for the two of them.

Don't expect to find prey in the forest behind the house, there is even little movement.

After catching for half an hour, Xiulan came over with a bottle: "We have caught two hundred, is that enough?"

"Enough, enough." Lin Heng also nodded repeatedly. He had caught half a plastic bottle: "Let's sit on the stone to rest for a while, and then catch them back along the way."

They caught cicada monkeys all the way and walked to the middle of the mountain.

"Okay!"
